Sumario: | Regulatory bodies and medical journals regularly raise their standards in terms of the quality of statistical analyses presented, wanting to ensure statistical methods are not misused leading to wrong conclusions. Following this trend there is a growing need for robust statistics in medical research.

Its basic philosophy is to produce statistical procedures which are stable withy respect to changes in the data or model departures. |
